“After 16 years and more than 10,000 performances in Branson, The Haygood Family will perform their final full season of shows next year according to Haygood family representatives.”

Also from the press release:

“Over the years, we’ve had several opportunities offered to us outside of the Branson market and we now feel it is time to take advantage of some of these options. Plus, we need a little break to rest and recoup. We’ve been on stage performing nearly our entire lifetime.”

The group has already initiated the planning and early stages of production of a television show that will showcase the personalities and variety of talent within the family. Additionally, selected national and international tour dates have been proposed for 2009 and beyond.

“Although Branson is our home, we look forward to branching out and sharing our passion of music and entertainment with people who may never have the opportunity to visit Branson,” added second-eldest brother Patrick Haygood. “We’ll continue to perform as a family wherever we go, and we look forward to coming back to Branson from time to time for select performance dates.”
